During a car collision, the knee, thighbone, and hip can sustain a force no greater than 4000 N. Forces that exceed this amount

could cause dislocations or fractures. Assume that in a collision a knee stops when it hits the car's dashboard. Also assume that the mass of the body parts stopped by the knee is about 20% of the total body mass. The person with a mass of 65 kg is initially traveling at 18 m/s (40 mi/h).

Answer:

a) t = 0.0585 s  

b) s = 0.5265 m

Explanation:

Given:

- maximum possible force F = 4000 N

- mass of person = 65 kg

- mass of knees and other m = 0.2*65 = 13 kg

- initial velocity u = 18 m/s

- Final velocity v = 0

Find:

a) Minimum stopping time

b) Minimum stopping distance.

Solution:

Minimum stopping time can be evaluated by Newton's second law of motion. Where change in momentum per unit time is Average force experienced by the body:

                                   F = m*(v - u) / dt

                                   dt = 13*(0 - (-18)) / 4000

Hence ,                       dt = 0.0585                

       

Minimum stopping distance can be evaluated by using equation of motions and required deceleration is as follows:

                                  a = - 4000  / 13

                                  a = -307.692 m/s^2

And,

                                 s = (v^2 - u^2) / 2*a

                                 s = (0 - 18^2) / 2*(-307.692)

                                s = 0.5265 m  

Answer: The minimum stopping time and distance are t = 0.0585 s and s = 0.5265 m, respectively.

Traveler A starts from rest at a constant acceleration of 6 m/s^2. Two seconds later, traveler B starts with an initial velocity
Troyanec [42]

Answer:

3. 3.5 s

Explanation:

The position of traveller A is given by the equation:

x_A(t) = \frac{1}{2}a t^2

where

a = 6 m/s^2 is the acceleration of A

t is the time measured from when A started the motion

The position of traveller B instead is given by

x_B(t) = u_B (t-2) + \frac{1}{2}a(t-2)^2

where a (acceleration) is the same as traveller A, and

u_B = 20 m/s

is B's initial velocity. We can verify that the formula is correct by substituting t=2, and we get x_B=0, which means that B starts its motion 2 seconds later.

Traveller B overtakes traveller A when the two positions are the same, so:

x_A = x_B\\\frac{1}{2}at^2 = u_B (t-2) + \frac{1}{2}a(t-2)^2\\\frac{1}{2}at^2 = u_B t - 2u_B +\frac{1}{2}at^2 +2a-2at\\u_Bt-2at = 2u_B-2a\\t=\frac{2u_B-2a}{u_B-2a}=\frac{2(20)-2(6)}{20-2(6)}=3.5 s

Set the initial bead height to 3.00 m. Click Play. Notice that the ball makes an entire loop. What is the minimum height require
strojnjashka [21]

Answer:

h> 2R

Explanation:

For this exercise let's use the conservation of energy relations

starting point. Before releasing the ball

       Em₀ = U = m g h

Final point. In the highest part of the loop

       Em_f = K + U = ½ m v² + ½ I w² + m g (2R)

where R is the radius of the curl, we are considering the ball as a point body.

      I = m R²

      v = w R

we substitute

       Em_f = ½ m v² + ½ m R² (v/R) ² + 2 m g R

       em_f = m v² + 2 m g R

Energy is conserved

       Emo = Em_f

       mgh = m v² + 2m g R

       h = v² / g + 2R

 

The lowest velocity that the ball can have at the top of the loop is v> 0

      h> 2R

If a ball is thrown vertically upward with a velocity of 160 ft/s, then its height after t seconds is s = 160t − 16t^2.
White raven [17]

Answer:

400ft.    32ft/s       -32ft/s

Explanation:

In reality the gravitational acceleration is 9.81 so the quadratic coefficient of the function should be 9.81/2

Anyway for the sake of assumtion let us takes=160t-16t^2

 

ds/dt=160-32t=0

 

t=160/32= 5 seconds.

s=160*160/32-16*(160/32)^2= 400 mts

 

 

s=384 mts

160t-16t^2=384

i.e

16t^2-160t+384=0

 

t^2-10t+24=0

(t-6)(t-4)=0

t=[4,6]

we have to take t=4 because it is all the up i.e <5

 

velocity =v=ds/dt=160-32t

 

v=160-32*4=32 ft/sec still going up

 

for all the way down take t=6 whuch is >5

 

v=160-6*32=-32 ft/sec (falling down!!!)

A pharmacist attempts to weigh 100 milligrams of codeine sulfate on a balance with a sensitivity requirement of 4 milligrams. Ca
ira [324]

Answer:

4 %

2 ) 3.42 %

Explanation:

Sensitivity requirement of 4 milligram means it is not sensitive below 4 milligram or can not measure below 4 milligram .

Given , 4 milligram is the maximum error possible .

Measured weight = 100 milligram

So percentage maximum potential error

= (4 / 100)  x 100

4 %

2 )

As per measurement

weight of 6 milliliters of water

= 48.540 - 42.745 = 5.795 gram

6 milliliters of water should measure 6 grams

Deviation = 6 - 5.795 = - 0.205 gram.

Percentage of error =(.205 / 6 )x 100

= 3.42 %
